I'm going to be installing either a Greddy TT or Turbonetics shortly- what gauges do I need beside the boost gauge?
Air/Fuel
EGT
Oil Press.

Oil pressure and temp gauges are quite important, especially on an engine that is not specifically engineered to be turbo.
AFR gauge can be a good investment, but be advised that there are heaps of useless, crap brands on the market. I would definitely suggest spending a little extra to get name brand units.
There are quite a few more guages that you can get, how many are you looking at running?

I don't know how useful EGT is now that the AFR gauges are so good these days. Between Cipher and my TXS unit, there's 3 widebands providing constant A/F data.
Boost, A/F, oil pressure, and water/oil temp gauges is what I would go with followed by fuel pressure (for debugging in case something goes wrong)...

+1 I have A/F, Boost and Oil Pressure. For A/F wideband you can't go wrong with Innovate

Don't you want a Boost Gauge? I sure hell want to know if I'm overboosting. If I can only pick 3 then Boost, Wideband, and Oil Pressure will be my top choice. 4th will be EGT 5th Oil Temp or Fuel Pressure. JIMHO

Ok since gauges vary on owner's preference I wish there is more choices on Pods. I don't really care about pillar pods coz it attract more attention and don't want to put in on my glove compartment coz visibility is poor and dangerous especially on WOT.
